Beer, revisited

[summerisle]

So, I guess a question for you lot over yonder, are DIPA's not a big thing over there? In the craft beer world here that's like the long and short of "best beer in America" lists.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's a DIPA.

Google tells me that it's a Double IPA and akin to an Imperial IPA, so very hoppy and usually rather strong.

So just the one pint for me then.

Yeah, 8% and the like. HUGE hops but they don't really taste like hops as much as juice. It's crazy the stuff being put out here. But you've got people drinking them all day somehow. I have 4 and I feel like death the next day.

If I see one to buy, I'll have to give one a go. Sounds like loopy juice when you refer to it as juice but strong. @COYBL25 back to FA and Red Erik again I think!

If you see one check out the can/bottle date. Typically got about 30-45 days before it starts to really drop off.

Anyone done one of those monthly subscription boxes? Best ones out there?

I’ve bought mixed boxes Neil, but not on subscription, as looking at the way it works, you can end up with a load of stuff that you don’t particularly like

Another cracker from Speke`s Big Bog Brewing Co - Spring Bog 4.0 %

Beautiful stuff, zesty and refreshing, without being over hopped.

Tastes a lot like one of my favourite Summer tipples - Summer Lightning.

I think that I’d enjoy drinking with you.

That's what I thought... And the savings look minimal

You’re right.

You get locked into buying stuff you don’t really want.

They're never really worth it, especially places like Beer52. All short shelf life/crap which people don't want. Best just ordering your own stuff.
